Boomer and Craig were both tired of talking about Jose Reyes and his ailing thyroid, so today they revisited the age old debate of whether Joba Chamberlain is better suited to be a starting pitcher or a set-up man for Mariano Rivera. Craig issued a promise that this would be the last time they’d talk about the subject, which has been beaten like a drum here in New York, but considering Joba’s shaky performance yesterday against the Tigers, Craig had to get a few things off his chest…Plus, a complimentary Craig and an updating Jerry, New Jersey Nets big-wig Brett Yormark talks about today’s ground breaking ceremony in Brooklyn, Craig wants to talk about the Yanks over lunch with Mike and Al turns over a new leaf, Arlen Roth tries to play (guitar) his way onto the B&C softball team, USA Hockey Team hero Zach Parise, former NFL great Emmitt Smith, current broadcasting legend Marv Albert and a Moment worth reliving…
The St. Johns Red Storm got a big win in the opening round of the Big East Tournament over UCONN, Boomer called it a shining moment and Craig mocked his radio partner for his declaration. With that said, it was good to have the guys back from Ireland and things back to normal. From there the guys discussed Jose Reyes’ thyroid, which may or may not be a problem, depends who you listen too. The ‘Not So Amazin’ Mets medical staff is saying one thing and Reyes himself is singing a different tune. Boomer and Craig look at both sides and try and figure out what exactly is going on…Plus, bug eyes, ugly Irish woman and an update from the handsome Jerry Recco, what to do with breast milk, Eddie’s going to die and the guys want to celebrate before he goes, a childhood dream for middle-aged men across the country, the guys break down history’s most influential explorers, funny man Jeff Garland, Craig is still under the impression he can write a hit song, Jerry’s Moment of the Day, followed by an informative Blog Spot…
Boomer and Craig may be 5,000 miles away in Ireland (enjoying some Irish tea in this picture), but that still isn’t far enough to get away from all the drama surrounding the Mets. Luckily, the boys are visiting the emerald isle to see the Bushmills distillery, and there’s no better way to discuss the Mets problems then over some smooth Bushmills Irish Whiskey...
The NFL free-agent signing began at midnight and the Jets, who because of their playoff run are prohibited from signing any free-agents at this point, went the trade route and acquired talented, troubled and ‘potent’ cornerback, Antonio Cromartie from the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a 2011 Draft Pick. Cromartie is only 25 years old, which if you’re a Jets fan is good. In the world of parenthood though, 25 is a little young to have seven kids of his own, with six different women by the way. Boomer warns the Jets, buyer beware, Craig gives out a warning of his own to all of the women across the tri-state area…Plus, Craig fancies himself a song writer just as Jerry fancies himself an update anchor, Al’s mind is wandering, Craig gets a dose of reality regarding his song writing ability, an act of heroism is rewarded, Al’s reservation about going to Ireland, a podcast from Al that is sure to bore your socks off, some singing and laughing followed by Jerry’s Moment of the Day and a redemption Blog spot from yours truly…

Everybody makes mistakes. For some people, like Carlos Beltran, that mistake is letting a Canadian Chiropractor linked to BALCO and HGH take blood out of you in your living room and injecting it back into your body. For Mr. Craig Carton, his mistake didn’t involve HGH, but it did involve another big H, HBO. Yes, it seems everybody in New York had some explaining to do this morning...
When I was in high school there was one girl that everybody wanted to go out with. She didn’t have an overly pretty face, or a crazy hot body, or even some incredible personality. However, she did have an un-commonly big chest. For years this was her bread and butter. Then one day this girl decided to get breast reduction surgery and that changed everything. The Mets should learn from this story: never mess with a good thing...
For the first time since the 1980 Olympics (or the Mighty Ducks movies) America has gone hockey crazy. All over the country sports fans are waking up this morning just a little bit sad and disappointed that team USA wasn’t able to grab gold, and some are even cursing our neighbors to the north. But rest assured sports fans, just like the hottest girl in high school after a few kids; hockey will be forgotten again before you know it...
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a bit of a blizzard slamming the tri-state area on this Friday morning. Don’t worry, neither sleet nor snow nor any other winter inconvenience could keep Boomer and Craig away. They braved the worst of the weather and came in excited and ready to go. Why were they so excited you ask? Duh, didn’t you hear? The Mets have a new slogan...
The United States hockey team earned a 2-0 win over Switzerland yesterday afternoon and Boomer is all fired up. Craig on the other hand, didn’t see a minute of the game, not by choice, he actually had a little interest in watching, but he couldn’t find which channel it was on. Derek Jeter spoke with the media yesterday for almost 40 minutes and didn’t really say anything earth shattering, but John Harper of the Daily News inked a column that caught the attention of Craig, so he let Harper have it…Plus, a ‘Situation’ we’d all like to be in, lessons in baseball history and geography bookend Jerry’s first update of the morning, Craig’s inner Hank Steinbrenner talks with the Captain about his contract, Sam Wyche compares Tim Tebow with the Blonde Bomber, Megan Glaros takes a break from not breast feeding to give us a forecast, former Rangers great Adam Graves makes an in-studio visit, an ungrateful Jerry Recco, a Moment that needs some clarification and a Blog Spot that gets a little heated...
Marc Malusis said it best around 4:30 am today: “It’s a Yankee Monday. ” Boy, is he ever right. The Bronx Bombers and their four-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium has the overnight and morning show callers saying that the American League Eastern division title is a foregone conclusion for the boys in pinstripes.
Great to have the boys back this morning after their three-day weekend. Jerry Recco, Al Dukes AND C-Lo also decided to take last Friday off, so even though we love Adam “The Bull” doing the fill-in, the universe now feels back in alignment with almost everyone in their place (C-Lo is off this week on a golf course somewhere in Jersey). That “creature of
Props go out to the men who wear pinstripes and their fans today – the New York Yankees are in sole possession of first place in the American League East!
Three game sweep by the Yankees and another subpar performance by the Mets are part of the Monday morning 4:00 am newsroom chat here at WFAN. But Jerry Recco, C-Lo and Harris Allen were all debating whether 59 year-old Tom Watson choked or merely showed his age by missing the winning putt at the British Open yesterday.
What a great day for Yankee fans and yes, another day of gloom for Met supporters. The Yanks in FIRST PLACE, tied with the Red Sox following their loss last night, after a sweep of their series with the Twins. Mark Malusis’ overnight callers were pumped about yesterday’s afternoon win when I arrived around 4:30.
